You Can Help !
Action is required to improve the prospects of the animals at the shelter. There are many ways you can help:
“Fix” Your Pets to Reduce Overpopulation
Do your part to prevent pet overpopulation by spaying and neutering your pets. Pet overpopulation is the real reason behind overcrowded shelters and the need for euthanasia in shelters across Mississippi and in many other parts of the nation. There simply are not enough homes to take in all of the adoptable pets.
We are fortunate to have several local veterinary clinics and most perform spay and neuter surgeries. These vet clinics are small businesses that deserve our support because they provide jobs for local people, put money back into our local economy, and are here for us when we need them to provide all types of healthcare for our animals.
If you cannot afford to get your pet’s surgery, assistance may be available to you. Contact Mississippi Spay & Neuter (MS SPAN) for more information.

Adopt from NACHS
Our shelter is overflowing with puppies, dogs, kittens and cats in all sizes, colors, and personalities. We have some of the most beautiful and desirable animals to be found anywhere, and there’s a new best friend just waiting for you there. Remember that you truly save a life when you adopt.

Donate - Operations Fund
NACHS depends on your financial support to keep our doors open. All donations are tax deductable. Acknowledge the loss of a beloved pet by providing a memorial. Send a unique “Thank You” or recognition of an accomplishment by making a donation in your friend’s honor. We’ll gladly send an acknowledgement when you include the name and address of where to send it and why your donation was sent. Mail to: NACHS, P.O. Box 549, Natchez, MS 39121
Donate - Building Fund
A new shelter facility is desperately needed to provide a clean, healthy environment for the animals and give them more time to find their forever home. We’re getting close to having the amount needed to start breaking ground, but cannot begin until more money is raised. Tax deductable donations can be mailed to NACHS Building Fund, P.O. Box 332, Natchez, MS 39121. Your donation is greatly appreciated, and memorials and honorariums are always acknowledged.
Online Shopping & Surfing
Shop online. Go to www.igive.com and sign up to be a member. Choose the Natchez Adams County Humane Society as the organization that you wish to support, and check out the list of more than 700 stores that will donate a percentage of your purchase to NACHS.
Surf the Net. Goodsearch.com is a search engine powered by Yahoo that donates half of its revenue to charities.

Become a Member or Volunteer
NACHS annual membership dues are $15 for individuals and $20 per couple. Volunteers to walk dogs and assist with bi-weekly animal photography are needed. Contact natchezpetadoptions@gmail.com for more information.
Hands-on volunteer opportunities at the current shelter are very limited due to the condition of the building. When the new shelter is completed we hope to expand the volunteer opportunities.
